Travel Clinic

Unfortunately, due to
increasing pressure on our appointment system and to free up nursing capacity, we have taken the decision to

withdraw our
Travel Clinic service.

Although we are
withdrawing our service, you are still entitled to receive certain vaccinations for travel which are available under the NHS. We will continue to provide prescriptions for these vaccinations and
offer you an appointment to have these administered at the practice.

Please see below for
details and further instructions.

The travel
vaccinations provided free of charge on the NHS are:

Tetanus,
diphtheria and polio as given in the combined Td/IPV vaccine (Revaxis)

Hepatitis A
- first and booster doses

Combined
hepatitis A and B - two doses with a third for over 16s

Typhoid - first
and booster doses

Combined
hepatitis A and typhoid - first and booster doses

If you are planning to travel abroad and require
travel advice, we would advise you to contact a local travel clinic to arrange an appointment at least eight weeks in advance of travel. There are a variety of private travel clinics which
provide such advice e.g. some larger pharmacies. Unfortunately we are unable to direct you to a specific private travel clinic.Please note there may be a charge involved when attending these clinics.

We are happy to provide
you with a copy of your vaccinations on request to take to your travel clinic appointment.

Upon attending a travel
clinic, if any NHS vaccination (noted above) is required, you should request a copy of your travel consultation and bring this to our Practice with a view to requesting a prescription for the
vaccination. We will forward your consultation to a doctor or nurse who will check your medical records and arrange issue of a prescription (if required). A member of our reception team will
then contact you to advise you whether a prescription has been generated, where to collect the prescription, and arrange an appointment for you with our practice nurse to have the vaccination
administered. Please bring vaccines straight to the surgery after collection.

It is extremely
important that you request, and provide us with, a copy of you travel consultation otherwise we may not be able to administer the vaccinations.
